I think Gal's idea with the board of wood is a good one, though given the shortage of wood after the winter they may need to salvage another of the carts for the right sort of plank.

Maybe a short way up the road it's a high enough elevation to not be wholly flooded? Anyone have more experience than me with dirt roads - how much of a quag would it be? Will the horses have any luck once the wagons (loaded down) get as far as the road?

Our roads all have gravel on them, and one can usually drive on them, so long as they're not underwater. Put boards down is a good idea. I haven't read her post yet.
